My new Les Paul

XTra-Short scale. Ok, so maybe it doesn't sound as good as yours but this one never needs tuning. Chopping green onions on it makes me cry with joy!

    It's a beauty. Seems those grooves in the middle will make it hard to clean? As stuff get's caught in there.

    I bet you'll always play sharp on that thing.

    Should be good for those "choppy" rhythm parts.

    .....err.....I'm sure I can come up with some more.....give me some more time....

    That was the first thing that I noticed too since I sell custom plastic cutting boards to restaurants and restaurant suppliers in the area.  However, mine are not as beatiful or as cool as that one.
     
    Good job.

    Helps you "cut through" a mix.

    Stew on that one for a while.

    Mike, I made some signs for a local woodworker/wood supplier and he offered to pay either in cash or curly maple at his cost (he has a barn full). Naturally, I took the maple and have about 200bf left, about 80% soft / 20% hard. The stuff on that board is soft and below average in figure.

    Guitardog and Dave, I ?expect? a sponge rinse will clean the grooves after most uses and a brush should work fine if things like tomato pits dry before cleaning it. Dave, two bassists thousands of miles away with home studios who make cutting boards… Talk about weird coincidences!

    Skullsession, "cut through a mix" is great! I'll use that if you don't mind.

    Frank, no sunburst but I do have this piccolo cheese board without the stripes, with walnut 'strings' but, of course, it sounds cheesy and nutty.

    The only reason I can think of offhand is that you're running some sort of a/v software or have options set in your browser that blocks jpg's. If that's the case, tell it to allow jpg's from donstrenz.com. But, you're really not missing that much by not seeing these photos so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
